Eco-Extraction: Our Innovative Technologies
Innovative extraction processes to preserve the effectiveness of natural active ingredients.
Innovating in harmony with nature through sustainable eco-extraction
Pioneers in eco-extraction, including green chemistry and engineering, we specialize in the development of tailor-made bioactive ingredients from agricultural by-products. Thanks to our continuous scientific research, we transform our innovations into numerous patents and published scientific articles that demonstrate the effectiveness of our active ingredients.
Our Principles for Responsible Eco-Extraction
Banana ucycling : We upcycle banana waste, a very sustainable resource that is not seasonal and has a fast production cycle.
Eco-solvents : We prefer the use of solvents that respect the environment, such as water, vegetable oils or solvent-free methods.
Energy efficiency : We give priority to energy-efficient extraction processes.
Valorization of co-products : We value our co-products by transforming them into high quality sensory ingredients.
Short processes : We prefer short extraction processes, using techniques such as microwaves, ultrasound, subcritical water or CO2.
Long-lasting and effective extracts : We produce sustainable and effective extracts.
Our eco-extraction processes:
Dehydration
Dehydration is a gentle method to preserve plant active ingredients by eliminating water without altering their properties. This technique extends the preservation of ingredients while facilitating their integration into various formulations.
Supercritical water
Supercritical water extraction utilizes the unique properties of water at high pressure and temperature to effectively extract bioactive molecules. This solvent-free process guarantees pure, concentrated and environmentally friendly extracts.
CO2 Supercritical
Using carbon dioxide in supercritical form, this technique allows a selective and gentle extraction of lipophilic compounds (essential oils, antioxidants). It offers a clean and residue-free alternative to conventional extraction methods.
Microwave
Microwave-assisted extraction accelerates the transfer of plant active ingredients by heating cells in a targeted manner. This innovative method allows for rapid, efficient and energy-efficient extraction.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonic extraction relies on acoustic cavitation, facilitating the release of active compounds by fragmenting cell walls. This optimized process reduces extraction time while improving the performance of natural active ingredients.
